SME Focus Banco Cathay already positions itself as an ally to small and medium enterprises in Costa Rica, creating a strong opening to upsell a full suite of SME banking solutions such as working capital facilities, trade finance, receivables financing, cash management, payroll services, and streamlined digital onboarding.

Asia Trade Finance The bank was founded to bridge Costa Rica with Asian markets, indicating a clear opportunity to expand cross-border services including letters of credit, supplier financing, import/export working capital, FX risk management, and multi-currency accounts for exporters and importers.
